Creativity, curiosity and a passion for growing people and organizations have fueled and directed my career.In 20+ years in tech I’ve done it: software development, program and product management, security & compliance, systems engineering, integration, and administration, business development & client management, training & education. I chose Pepperdine for my EMBA for the program focus on strategy and ethics. The MBA helped me develop a more rounded view of the entire companies and integrate IT/Digital into the business. And as VP of Info Tech for SportsMark I used that approach to turn a cost center into a profit center as we turned the IT/Digital team into a line of business.I’ve worked and lived globally: Europe (UK, Germany, Italy, Greece, Russia), Asia (China, Japan, Korea, India), South America (Argentina & Brazil), and Canada.Over the last few years I’ve been more focused on services integration with IT/Digital as toolsets, and am particularly skilled in information governance, business continuity, risk assessment and mitigation, contingency planning, and crisis management. I am a leader in internal and vendor security and privacy policies and practices and over the last 10 years I’ve lead security and privacy audits with clients such as GE, Visa, Cisco, Ernst & Young, Proctor and Gamble, Coca Cola, Yahoo!, British Airways, Eurostar Rail, Nielsen, Bank of America and many others.
Listed skills include Information Security, Penetration Testing, Global Events, Event Technology, and 7 others.
